My vision is different

Chapter 225 Advance to the Eastern Conference Finals
In the semifinals, when the Pacers played against the Bulls, they won three consecutive games. Every expert who analyzed the details after the fact could find that, in addition to the Bulls' own injuries, the Pacers could dominate this series. , It's really a defense.

Due to the lack of outside shooters and poor off-ball play, the Bulls in front of them can only strengthen the mid-range and attack the inside, which is precisely the strength of the Pacers.

The defense of Lin Shaojie and Paul George, coupled with the presence of Hibbert and West on the inside, especially David West, is full of deterrence when he is healthy.

Even when West is off the field due to injury, the Pacers still have Mahinmi and Hansbrough as supplements, especially the latter. Although his ability is limited, his passionate defense has made him perform well in these series It is eye-catching, and many teams have become interested in him as a substitute player.

The main reason is that the price-performance ratio is extremely high. The Pacers have two Hansbrough and a power forward Tyler Hansbrough. The annual salary of [-] million makes him worth at least [-] million;

Ben Hansbrough, another Lin Shaojie's complement, as a defender, has an annual salary of less than half a million dollars. He hasn't had any good opportunities this season. In most cases, he is Lance Stephenson's substitute. play.

In any case, there are still good products on the Pacers' bench, and in the eyes of outsiders, they are all good products with extremely high cost performance.

The Pacers are relying on this lineup that both the main force and the substitute can do their best to bring the current Bulls a nearly suffocating defense, making it difficult for the Bulls to score, and even created the lowest scoring record in a single quarter in team history.

Now, the Pacers are just one step away from advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals.

For the Bulls, even though they sit at home, most of the fans sitting on the sidelines are also their own, but they don't feel the slightest joy.

Tom Thibodeau has already started thinking about the Bulls lineup for next season.

From this series of games, Thibodeau confirmed one thing. Nate Robinson, who performed well in the first game, is not suitable for the current Bulls. When encountering a master of perimeter defense, Robinson's role plummets.

In the chaotic battles of the regular season, Robinson can win by surprise. The small man's "powerful miracle" is very interesting and can attract fans, but in the playoffs, the value of Robinson's existence is much lower. In the recent two-round series, it was too difficult for Robinson to score a point;
There is also Belinelli, the "queen bee" from Italy. He is a typical traditional point guard on the back line. player of.

Too conservative and not adventurous, some are not in line with the current Bulls. Belinelli, who has been seen through, also lacks the ability to play against the Pacers because of his "steadiness".

Lin Shaojie's more talented performance completely suppressed him, Thibodeau must find a way to find other players, other more talented players to transform the Bulls.

Of course, Belinelli is far more reliable than Robinson during the regular season. If there is no chance to choose, Thibodeau is still unwilling to give up this relatively stable player, but the upper limit is here.

Thinking of the "mask man" Hamilton who can play in this game, Thibodeau can only feel that time flies, even if it is a year or two earlier, he has enough confidence to let Hamilton play a greater advantage.

However, the aging masked man, whose physical condition is deteriorating, and has "stubborn illnesses around him," is in some pain with each other. Besides the five million annual salary, Thibodeau is still thinking, if it doesn't work, he should terminate the contract and let the Bulls make room. The salary space is also good to sign better players.

Before the start of the game, the starting lineups of the two sides were released, and the Bulls were still the "old five." Fortunately, there was one more Richard Hamilton on the bench, which was an unknown favorable factor.

For the Pacers, David West, after repeated confirmations, can finally make his debut, and the Pacers' starting five are reunited again.

Before the game, the Pacers' medical team also followed each player for testing.

Everything the Bulls have shown is setting an example for the Pacers. No matter how good the lineup is, it can't beat the injury. When no one is available, the coach can only watch.

As the core of the core, Lin Shaojie performed very well in various physical tests. The [-]% body fat content is very suitable for Lin Shaojie. The original [-]% body fat rose slightly after Lin Shaojie gained weight. But the whole team can see that Lin Shaojie's "endurance" has not decreased but increased, and the whole team has benefited from it.

Looking at the whole team on the opposite side, it would be a lie to say that Thibodeau has no bitterness in his heart. Fortunately, this is also obtained by the Pacers through the rotation of the regular season, and no one else has anything to say.

Before playing, Hibbert was beaten again.

"This is our last away game. I don't want to go back home and win again. If you want to rest for a few more days and stand on the inside, look at Noah, you can do it."

Hibbert was surprised by Lin Shaojie's seemingly calm but actually "fierce" eyes.

"I promise to do it!"

Lin Shaojie didn't say anything, just punched Hibbert's chest twice with a little force, and then came on stage.

And Lin Shaojie's appearance also made him booed greatly by the fans at home. This is the treatment that the core of a hostile team should deserve.

While confident enough, Hibbert's jumper lost to Noah, who gave the Bulls an early lead.

Nate Robinson just broke into the half court and saw Lin Shaojie standing not far away, watching him. George Hill, who was defending him, did not give him a chance to break through unless he shot from the outside.

A breakthrough is impossible. Robinson knew very well that if he did this, the No. 13 of the Pacers would not let him go, and would definitely rush over to give him a cap or a steal.
"Shooting, Robinson didn't pass the ball or break through, he chose to shoot directly from outside the three-point line!"

Yang Yi, who was explaining the game, exclaimed that Robinson was very lucky. The opening shot was beyond the expectations of all the players of the two teams. Robinson, who was only [-]% capable of three-pointers, unexpectedly made a bold shot in front of the Pacers.

"Bang!"

"Shh!"

The basketball that hit the rim rebounded and fell directly into the net. Robinson helped the team score a three-pointer at the beginning. If this goal is not scored, Thibodeau who is sitting off the court may be about to curse.

Who gave him the guts to play like this?

Sure enough, as long as you have the courage, Banhua (girlfriend) will take maternity leave
It was the Pacers' turn to attack, and George Hill was also in good condition. After Lin Shaojie dribbled the ball to attract two players' double-teams, he immediately transferred it to his hands. Two rounds in a row, one three-pointer and one mid-range shot, George Hill Hill hit all of them.

But on the defensive end, George Hill is really not enough to face Robinson who wants to "explode" this field. Without Lin Shaojie's help in defense, his breakthrough will be unsolvable for George Hill.

The little man is full of strength and taste, and George Hill can't guard against him!
As for Belinelli, Lin Shaojie's main defense, there is no room for development at all. In half a quarter, only one mid-range shot scored 2 points.

On the one hand, there are few opportunities to get the ball. On the other hand, even if Belinelli gets the ball, it is difficult to have room to play. Another synonym for stability is mediocrity.

They are good at each of them, but they lack unique skills. Being targeted by "experience absorbing monsters" like Lin Shaojie, after this series of games, Belinelli's weight can be clearly seen.

The difference in strength and wingspan between two people of similar size makes it difficult for Belinelli to face Lin Shaojie no matter in offense or defense. Although it has been staged many times in the previous three series, but This was still the case in the fourth game, and Thibodeau could only shake his head helplessly.

In fact, it is not only Belinelli who has this problem. Too many players in the guard and even small forward positions of other teams in the league face this problem.

Who can fix Lynn?

This is not a question, but a fact that many teams have spent a whole season explaining.

It's like the Thunder in the West, the dickish man who has the height of a power forward or even a center, but plays a small forward.

Players at the BUG level don't talk about it, it's a "respectful title!"

If it is said that Robinson's "flash of inspiration" allowed him to occasionally show his prestige, Boozer, who has been sluggish for three games, has become the "star of hope" in this game.

Hibbert and Noah belonged to the "pair" behavior in the interior, and neither made it easier for the other. Noah's blood and Hibbert's drive collided, and the ending was almost mutual destruction.

Boozer found his presence in David West.

Boozer, who started with the Cavaliers, found his self-worth in the Jazz, and then continued his career in the Bulls, is younger than West, but entered the league earlier.

Boozer, who came from Duke's famous school, is more famous than West's Xavier University (Xavier is not Professor X's school).

The two are the same height, and Boozer, who is heavier, seems to have returned to his peak in this fourth game.

Jimmy Butler had an inexplicable linkage with Boozer, especially the former, who was obviously a substitute, but found a suitable position for him in the Bulls and showed his value on the stage of the playoffs.

After Butler got the ball, he was able to carry Paul George's defense and pass the ball to Boozer smoothly, allowing the latter to complete the offense inside.

If it was like Robinson, it would be nothing more than an occasional flash of inspiration. When such situations happened one after another, Lin Shaojie knew that adjustments had to be made.

"The Bulls seem to have found the key to victory. Under tremendous pressure, will they win a victory?"

Yang Yi looked at the score on the field, and the two sides were actually tied. The tense atmosphere filled the field due to the anxious game, and even the substitutes sitting on the sidelines were a little nervous.

Thibodeau watched his opponent call a timeout, and then looked at Boozer, feeling somewhat joyful in his heart.

The Bulls still have someone available, and look at Jimmy Butler, who looks exactly like Jordan. He was almost stationed on the bench during the regular season, and he finally found his value in the playoffs.

In the last few games alone, Butler has shown a talent no worse than Belinelli, Robinson and others. His initiative on the court, hardware talent and fighting spirit are better than both of them. This is a talent worth cultivating. player of.

Thibodeau patted Boozer as if he had discovered a treasure, and then patted Butler hard.

Although he only scored 6 points, far less than Robinson's 8 points, but at the critical moment, he won the trust of the coach!

In the Pacers, Lin Shaojie suggested that he switch defenses with Paul George, or put more energy into the paint.

Lance Stephenson looked at the coach Frank expectantly, occasionally glanced at Lin Shaojie, and cried out in his heart.

"Bosses, look at me, look at me, I can stand that dwarf, George Hill can't, choose me!"

Lin Shaojie raised his head as if aware of it, and smiled at Stephenson: "Lance, what do you do?"

"No, I'm listening to the coach's tactics!"

Lance Stephenson replied solemnly, George Hill glanced at this temporary "opponent," little guy, you won't think I'm blind and can't see it?
Frank also wants to replace George Hill. His offense is really good, but his defensive performance is not so good. Let's see!
However, Lin Shaojie's initiative is also feasible. If Butler opens up this point, he and Paul George will switch defenses.

When the two sides re-enter the field, the matter of changing defenses is invalidated.

Because the Bulls sent their strongest fighting force on the bench - Richard Hamilton.

"Hello, old man!"

Lin Shaojie greeted Lin Shaojie jokingly and enthusiastically. Hamilton patted Lin Shaojie very face-savingly, but they separated soon, and the two sides were still on the battlefield!
Hamilton's appearance gave the Bulls more changes, and Belinelli, who was replaced, had no complaints.

The Italian was really annoyed by the Pacers' No. 13, and he also wanted to see how Hamilton fought against the super pick.

From the moment he entered the field, the [-]-year-old Mask Man never stopped. He knew that his opponent's stamina was very good, and he was already old. In the last game, Hamilton has never been the kind of player who can be slaughtered.

The two guys with similar stature seem to be outside the regular lineup, running without hesitation has become an unknown element outside the regular combat power.

Until the second quarter, Hamilton didn't dare to stop, because he knew very well that his body shape looked the same, but his strength and speed were much lower than his opponent's, and stopping meant failure.

This is not a basketball game, but a contest of physical fitness and willpower.

Robinson felt much more comfortable, like a fish returning to the water, without Lin Shaojie watching over him, he could finally attack George Hill.

After two rounds, Robinson scored another 4 points on George Hill.

"Paul (George), help defend."

Lin Shaojie, who was running, yelled, Paul George let go of Butler slightly, and focused more on Nate Robinson.

He didn't ask Butler what to do, he knew that Lin Shaojie must have paid attention.

Thibodeau sat on the sidelines, watching the game until the second quarter, but apart from two points and one assist, Hamilton didn't have any statistics, but anyone who watched the game knows that the Bulls are in this game. Already had a slight lead, just after Hamilton came on.

His containment ability has brought hope to the Bulls. If it weren't for Lin Shaojie's tight defense of him, I am afraid that Robinson's passing will make this mid-range shooter bloom.

Robinson found that his breakthrough had returned to the previous feeling. The deterrence brought by Paul George was not as strong as that of No. 13, but it worked.

No way, Robinson passed the ball to Butler helplessly. He is repeating the old trick, hoping that the connection between Butler and Boozer will be a miracle again, but...
"do not want!"

Before Hamilton finished his reminder, Lin Shaojie, who was defending him, suddenly turned back and ran diagonally in front of Butler. As soon as the latter received the basketball in his hand, Lin Shaojie intercepted it.

That big hand was like a "plier", picking off the basketball from Butler's hand. The safe approach did not give the Bulls any room to think. Lin Shaojie, who was still on defense, strode forward.

The speed and rhythm caused Robinson, who wanted to make up for his mistakes, to lose his position in an instant. Although Hamilton had stamina and rhythm, he had no speed. Facing the rising Lin Shaojie, he could only helplessly watch him getting faster and faster. The farther back.

The only thing the Bulls can keep up with is Jimmy Butler, another substitute player who can make up for his mistakes. But looking at the running speed of the two, Hamilton knows that everything is useless unless Lin Shaojie makes a mistake.

After No. 13's change of direction broke through Robinson's defense, he crossed the center line and stopped for a jump shot just before reaching the three-point line. Butler, who was following him, flew up, trying to get a chasing cap from behind him.

But it is a pity that after the first half of the emergency stop jump shot was completed, Lin Shaojie who jumped up seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He flew out obliquely and sideways. All lean to the other side.

Butler could only slide past Lin Shaojie, and then watched the opponent fly in the air for a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

"Pretty!"

Zhang Weiping clenched his fist and said.

"Don't look at this as a simple three-point shot. It requires a lot of players' physical fitness. We can watch the slow-motion replay later. The whole movement directed by Lin is not routine. Without the support of core strength, it is impossible to do it. Of course, this action is a little unreasonable, and it is not recommended for other players to imitate it, it will cause great harm to the body, and it can be used occasionally.”

In the replay of the scene, Lin Shaojie, who had a plain complexion, except for a little bit of determination in his eyes, as if his eyes only had baskets, his whole figure was more like a fallen leaf floating in the air, swaying with the wind.

The Bulls, who had taken a slight lead, returned to within 1 point with the Pacers' three-pointer.

Lin Shaojie has only scored 9 points so far, and the seemingly small number of points are often hits at critical moments.

Especially when other players make mistakes, he always has to make up for it, like a tinkerer.

By the halftime break, the point difference between the two sides remained between 1-3 points.

Lin Shaojie in the locker room was leaning on a chair, listening to Frank's tactics. The Bulls' Boozer still played pick-and-rolls. He and Butler used the Jazz's set. Perhaps for Boozer, That is already a tactic that goes deep into the marrow.

"In terms of offense, we actually have no shortage of good players, so in the second half"

Frank looked at George Hill. The coach hoped that he would make sacrifices. George Hill also thought of this scene. The 8 points he scored could not cover up his lack of defense.

"Good coach, I understand."

Lance Stephenson on the side was ecstatic in his heart, but there was no sign of it on his face.

Lin Shaojie knew very well in his heart that he could not be replaced as a core player. No matter how good George Hill's scoring ability was, he was not as good as himself, let alone defending.

Then replacing George Hill will increase the chances of himself and Paul George and others, and the statistics will be much better. Of course, only George Hill will be sacrificed.

As for Lance Stephenson, he is a defensive tool man. He doesn't ask too much for others. The top priority is to restrain Nate Robinson on the opposite side.

"Lyn, can you bear it?"

Before finally playing, Frank asked with concern.

"no problem!"

Lin Shaojie nodded.

"Take care of yourself, you are our greatest hope and future!"

Frank patted his beloved disciple: "Don't let yourself regret because of a game."

"Don't worry, Richard (Hamilton) is arrogant for one quarter at most, and I will let him feel the emptiness in the fourth quarter."

Lin Shaojie responded with a smile.

In the eyes of outsiders, although attacking and defending shoulder-to-shoulder is a must for super giants, it is really tiring. If you invest too much in offense, the defense will inevitably decrease. Otherwise, you think LeBron stands on the court and looks defensive.

I'm really tired and need a rest.

This season, Kobe averaged more playing time per game, but compared with his previous offensive and defensive play, he paid more attention to the offensive playing time, and did not consume much physical energy. On the contrary, most of the time, defense consumes more physical energy.

After the start of the second half, the Bulls continued the lineup in the second quarter, and Belinelli was pushed off the court.The Pacers also made adjustments, with George Hill being replaced by Lance Stephenson.

After looking at it for a while, Thibodeau only felt deep malice!
The Bulls right now belong to the "rough guys" rampage, full of injuries, regardless of their home court, they are even leading.

But can it be called a lead by leading by 1 point?
The Pacers even chanted the slogan "20 points difference is the safety line", what do you make other teams think?
After the opening of the second half, Lance Stephenson's defense against Nate Robinson was immediately effective. It was difficult for the latter to "violently" break through like the first half, and shooting was also impossible. Stephenson was much taller than him.

When Stephenson faced Robinson, he was like a weakened version of Pacers No. 13 with only defense.

Lin Shaojie, who doesn't have to worry about defense on the back line, changed the previous "stable" mode and started the "runaway" mode.

Rapid acceleration, rapid deceleration, and rapid acceleration again. Occasionally, there is also a change of direction.

Hamilton, who was following him, had already heard the alarm from the old parts of his body.

"Stop following. If you continue following, you won't have to fight anymore. Do you want to be disabled in your next life?"

Everyone can see that Hamilton is desperately defending, but everything is useless.

Younger, more athletic players were there before their eyes, in the United Center, when you saw that No. 13 running out of position against an empty defense.

Either receive a pass from Stephenson or a pass from Paul George.

Everyone knows that the Pacers have only that guy to shoot, and only he will shoot in front of one, two or even three defenses, but one runs out of position, and you come up to make up defenses when the shot is made, everything It's all useless.

It's too late!
"Shh!"

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

What's more uncomfortable than this is that the Pacers' No. 13 shooting is mainly three-pointers from the outside, with amazing lethality, like "splash" damage.

He only scored two points in the mid-range shot, and he followed the three-pointer. From time to time, he also performed a wonderful 3+1 performance. The Bulls' defense against him was completely ineffective.

Hamilton was sweating profusely all over his body, but his pace did not slow down, and he still followed him everywhere.

Everyone knows that without her, the Pacers' third pick would score in a more convenient and faster way. It's not like playing hide-and-seek with you on the court, and you have to keep moving to find the right shot.

All Hamilton's performance cannot be measured by data.

"Rookie, can you only shoot three-pointers?"

Panting, Hamilton said to Lin Shaojie who had just finished his shot and hit it.

He only scored 9 points in the first half, but he scored 18 points in the third quarter. However, it was difficult for the Bulls to organize an effective offense because of Robinson's "lost defense." A middle-aged man with prostate cancer.

The highly anticipated combination of Butler and Boozer also returned to calm in the joint strangling of Paul George and David West.

"Bro, times have changed!"

Lin Shaojie backed up while responding.

Perhaps in the impression of Hamilton and even many people, the league is still the offensive method that focuses on breakthroughs and attacking the rim, but since the center has fallen behind, players like Rose who focus on breakthroughs have also been injured for most of the season or even the entire season. .

The current league rules are already very friendly to outsiders. Like the defensive strength in the early days, if you dare to "softly" shoot three-pointers from the outside, believe it or not, all kinds of defensive defenses can smear your face and make you handsome. But three seconds.

Larry Bird may not be considered the king of three-pointers, but he doesn't average many three-pointers per game. One generation after another, at least the current version of the league is very friendly to three-point shooters.

A player like Lin Shaojie who likes to delve into the rules, study the rules, and make reasonable use of the rules will foul you if he doesn't come up, and confronting you head-on is the utmost benevolence.

Regarding Hamilton's "crying," Lin Shaojie knew very well in his heart that for such a veteran, this game may be the last game of his life, the last playoff game.

If it can be extended by talking some trash, it's not a bad idea.

But how can a player like Lin Shaojie who "respects the old and loves the young" leave any regrets for Hamilton?

He had already heard Hamilton's panting weakness, and of course he was staring at him playing post-up singles at this time.

When Lin Shaojie, who was in possession of the ball, did not take advantage of his open shot, but played Hamilton like a blacksmith from beyond the three-point line, all the players on and off the court were shocked by the "shamelessness" of Pacers No. 13 !
You and others have been wrong for more than one round. Facing a veteran who is about to retire, you have been running for a long time, and now you are still playing this game?
Hamilton couldn't tell what he was struggling with. The opponent could obviously bypass him by relying on his own rhythm and flexibility, but he just didn't do it.

"Boom!"

"Dong dong!"

"Boom!"

The continuous hard chisel made Hamilton seem to have returned to the feeling of the Pistons, the defense made of iron and blood, and the sense of oppression of racing against time inside and outside the line.

The two seemingly similar figures are indeed one advancing and the other retreating.

The collision of young and old is so ruthless.

"Hamilton is going to die."

Zhang Weiping said with emotion.

"Perhaps the fans thought it was cruel seeing this scene, but this is the reality. In the arena, heroes are never allowed to see their old age. Age is both an advantage and a disadvantage. When you have experience, you can bully 'rookies,' but when you are young When you are old, time is not forgiving!

Director Lin began to train his opponents again on the court. Look at the ball, Hamilton lost his position, and Butler came to defend. Oh, Butler, why do you remember to eat but not to hit?You can't take off easily, look at you, giving the opponent two points and adding a penalty, that's not acceptable."

Zhang Weiping's words were obviously full of emotions, but he was in high spirits as he spoke. It was supposed to be a scene of a hero's twilight, but he was stunned to say "Happy Tonight".

Lin Shaojie, who made 7 of 6 three-pointers, helped the Pacers seize the opportunity from running without the ball. In the last few minutes of the third quarter, he plunged into the low post again and began to pull Hamilton and others around him. .

Hamilton has been beaten by Lin Shaojie and has no temper, so he can only cope with it. Butler's supplementary defense is also due to lack of experience. When facing Lin Shaojie, he feels clumsy and being played.

As long as there are not three people defending, Lin Shaojie dares to make a move, and he will definitely make a move.

When a player like Boozer wants to start the opponent's defense, Lin Shaojie's "second pass" will be sent to Paul George not far away, or to the hands of West and Hibbert inside.

The Pacers suddenly found their own rhythm, and the Bulls were led by the nose again.

Lin Shaojie's high-efficiency scoring ability once again made opponents feel his terror.

Even if Thibodeau called a timeout in the remaining time, it was useless to rearrange tactics.

Lin Shaojie continued to magnify the Pacers' advantages in personal offense with the ball and organization.

Especially David West, he was taught by Boozer to be a man in the first half, and he was the reverse in the third quarter.

After receiving the pass, he either turned around and dunked or shot from the front. Boozer seemed to suddenly become unable to play and couldn't defend at all.

In addition, Noah next to him was entangled by Hibbert again. The two fouled three times in four rounds. The Bulls had almost no chance to play this game. This is still at home, and the referee is lenient, otherwise These two people have already ended up with six offenders.

Thibodeau's eyes also changed from anticipation to loneliness, and then to plainness at this time.

Maybe that's what it looks like when hope is dashed.

The Pacers players and coaches sitting on the bench were overjoyed. Danny Granger didn't get much playing time in this game. He and George Hill became brothers and sisters.

However, the data on the court has shown that the Bulls are about to collapse in the third quarter. The Bulls who insisted on playing two good quarters will go home in more than ten minutes. No, this is the Bulls' home court. eliminated.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the third quarter, everyone in the Pacers off the court began to cheer.

The Bulls' slight lead turned into an 18-point lead for the Pacers. Although it didn't reach the safety line, this score has satisfied too many people.

In this quarter of the game, too many people seem to have seen how powerless the Bulls were in the first two games when they faced the Pacers.

Lin Shaojie, who scored 24 points and 6 assists in a single quarter, is a well-deserved hero. His rise almost extinguished the flame of hope for the Bulls.

And depending on the situation, the Bulls don't seem to want to surrender yet. After all, this may be their last game, and they have to stick to the fourth quarter no matter what.

Sure enough, when the Bulls continued to play the strongest lineup in the fourth quarter, the Pacers were the same as in the third quarter, and both sides wanted to show their strongest side.

But when Lin Shaojie completed the steal in the hands of Hamilton, Lin Shaojie who ran two steps heard the sound of "boom" behind him, Lin Shaojie, who had a chance to complete the fast break, stopped and threw the basketball in his hand out of bounds.

Turn around, and help the old guy up.

"How are you, Richard (Hamilton)?"

He doesn't mind being supported by the other party, and even has his current appearance, and he still needs to be blessed by the other party, but Hamilton has no complaints in his heart.

The audience outside the stadium stood up and applauded everywhere, they were applauding Lin Shaojie's "gentleman" behavior.

Winning or losing the game has become more and more clear, the Bulls will go home soon, there is no need to think about the gains and losses of the game, and it is not a bad idea to use the remaining game time to appreciate the beauty of basketball.

Seeing the expression on Hamilton's face change from bitterness to relief, the old guy even ravaged Lin Shaojie's hair as if he was reconciled.

"I'll treat you to dinner after the game!"

"it is good!"

The two separated and the game restarted. After receiving the pass, Robinson threw the basketball to Lin Shaojie without hesitation.

"Your ball, I don't want your pity."

That little expression is quite arrogant.

Lin Shaojie patted the ball, and slowly approached Nate Robinson. The opponent's expression was a little dignified: This is a bit too pretentious, and if he is run over by the opponent, this old face will be embarrassing to death.

"You know Nate (Robinson), your height can stand in the NBA, you are the idol of many people."

Robinson's dignified expression looked a little better. Could this be a little surprise?

"You too?"

"No, my idol is a little giant!"

Lin Shaojie's words made Robinson's expression freeze instantly: "Fuck, I hate you, Lynn, I'm the player who blocked the little giant's head"

It's a pity that when Robinson was angry, Lin Shaojie squeezed away his opponent with a simple right breakthrough. If Robinson hadn't had a solid "chassis", he might have fallen to the ground. That guy looks the same as Hamilton, but his strength is very different. Too chicken is strong.

Watching Lin Shaojie squeeze past Robinson first, then bypass Hamilton, complete a turn in front of Butler, and finally face the double defense of Boozer and Noah.

At the bottom line, Lin Shaojie, who had almost no shooting space, leaped backwards, with a high jump height, a large backward swing, and a firm and soft shot.

If it weren't for the Pacers jersey, too many people thought in a trance that No. 23 would come to the United Center again.

Sparse applause sounded after the basketball entered the frame, and soon became one piece, resounding through the audience.

After that, Thibodeau called a timeout and replaced the core players.

Regardless of whether Butler agreed or not, he was replaced. He became the core of Thibodeau's heart. Hamilton's "exhaustion" was almost at the point, and he was replaced in the same way.

At this time, the point difference has come to 22 points.

Lin Shaojie, who returned to the bench for the first time in this game, raised his head and looked up at the top of the arena.

All that's left is the referee's final whistle.

The game ended early.

Pacers. Advance to the Eastern Conference Finals!
